Use GSKit iKeyman utility to create a key database file
for storing the certificate for the trusted Certificate Authority
of your LDAP server's certificates.
To use the iKeyman utility, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment
variable. See Setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
The following variable is used in path specifications in this topic:
- RATIONAL_COMMON
- Directory where the Rational common files are installed
To create a key database file, perform the following steps on
your administrative computer:
- In Windows® Explorer, navigate to the \Program
Files\IBM\GSK7\bin directory and double-click gsk7ikm.exe.
The iKeyman GUI opens.
- Click . The New window opens.
- Select CMS in the Key database
type list.
- Enter a name for the key database file in the File
Name field. At runtime, Rational® ClearQuest® can
use several methods to find the key database file. If all other methods
fail, ClearQuest looks
for a key database file named ldapkey.kdb in the
default location:
- On Windows:
- install-drive:\%RATIONAL_COMMON%
- On the UNIX system and Linux:
- /$RATIONAL_COMMON
See Distributing the key database file for
details about how ClearQuest finds
the key database file.
- Enter the path name for the directory that contains the key database
file in the Location field. Click OK.
The Password Prompt window opens.
- Enter a password for accessing the key database file in the fields Password and Confirm
Password.
- Select the Stash the password to a file? check
box, which stores an encrypted version of the password in a file with
a .sth extension. The Ikeyman utility stores the
file in the same location as the key database file and uses the same
root name as the key database file. For example, if you named the
key database file ldapkey.kdb, the password stash
file is ldapkey.sth.
- Click OK.
